With a legacy dating back to 1841, the farm Reiersvlei is situated along a scenic valley - with the colloquial name “Die Gang” - 25 km (tarred road) from the popular Karoo town of Prince Albert.
This attractive farm is now for sale to the farmer looking for a new adventure – or the city dweller longing for a safe and relaxed lifestyle - on 113 ha pristine land, filled with wildlife, birdsong and an absolute abundance of water channeled along cemented water furrows to be stored in four impressive earth dams.
Set against the backdrop of the majestic Swartberg Mountains on the southern border and on a perennial river on the northern border, it offers a welcoming, elegant home, built about thirty years ago - recently updated and modernized.
Here are views all round – from the deep
north-facing stoep covered with latte, sunny lounge with open fire-place, super study and stunning master bedroom en-suite, to the guest bedroom en-suite, to the dining room, kitchen and scullery.
Tiled throughout in a sensible quarry color, with water evaporative cooler and under-tile heating. Laundry, double garage and outside toilet.
Fresh drinking water comes from the mountain – and the 22-hour lei water turn also supplies irrigation for 19 ha arable land… Massey Furguson tractor in good working condition.
Strong corrugated iron shed - 220 m².
One labourer’s cottage – not occupied.
On the part of the farm south of the road to Prince Albert, you’ll find the original farmstead, called Tannie Maggies’ House.
This building has been reworked into a wine-tasting venue that can now be functional as an inspiring studio or an inviting guest house.
The adjacent traditional shed has been functional as a good wine cellar with a power-floated floor – it can now be put to good use as a workshop – or a potter’s den, or a farm stall… It will actually be suitable for any purpose as it is a valuable building with large double doors on the north side.
Three-phase power. Strong generator. Alarm system.
VAT registered.
If this once-off opportunity to purchase a farm of true beauty, bounty and opportunity speaks to you, do make an appointment to view the quality buildings, the arable land that has been rested for ten years, and the impressive fynbos veld where no hunting has been allowed for almost twenty years.
